After the second block of intervals I’m much more comfortable with the workouts. This second week went better than the first, even at the higher wattages. I’m now resting up for the third round, which will also be the final bunch before I begin racing. Racing will be much more fun than the interval workouts and a very suitable replacement. The first event will be an uphill TT, which I’m pretty pumped about!
This is my final week here in Lake Havasu so I’ve been tying up a lot of lose ends such as consolidating student loans, doing taxes, applying for a passport and cleaning up my portion of the garage. I should have all of this busy work done before I head out, then I won’t have this to-do list waiting on the back burner any longer. Last month it was getting my health insurance all setup so once this week’s tasks are done, I’ll pretty much be set up for the year.
Yesterday FedEx had four big boxes for me. One was the SpeedCity wheelset I bought off eBay with a low-ball bid. They cleaned up nicely and look brand new, perfectly straight and true. The other three boxes were full of Powerbar products and gear. Powerbar has officially set me up for the next two years. It’s nice that they make a full range of products, not just bars, so I won’t need to worry about any of the training or racing nutrition from now on. Most of the stuff tastes pretty good and I like the fact that their products are created with scientific research, not just consumer appeal in mind. They actually have some pretty good nutritional tools on their website too. I’ll be trying some of these out to see how precise they are. Give it a shot and see for yourself. If your nutrition is off, it’s likely that you could be training and racing more effectively. Not only for serious athletes, these tools are helpful for anyone who exercises regularly.
Well, it’s time to go spin the legs a bit before hitting the “to-do” list again… Keep it real, TJ
